Shopping for precious and semi-precious stones is no longer a simple task. We are faced with many new materials. Accidental events in ancient times revealed that the "treatment" of precious stones can improve their appearance and properties. Today, the methods of manipulating and imitating precious stones are becoming more complex. Crystals are cultivated, duplicating the chemistry, structure and properties of those naturally occurring in nature. Natural origin is no longer "implied". Laboratories and factories around the world are a source of an amazing number of materials sold in the field of precious stones. These artificial and processed materials offer a huge range of products and prices on the market. The jewelry buyer already has many more options, but needs some basic knowledge to make his choice. The term "synthetic" refers to those man-made products whose chemical and physical properties overlap with the properties of the natural product they duplicate. As for the metaphysical properties of synthetic materials, this is an open discussion. What we know is that everything is energy, everything carries its own charge and impact. You don’t need someone to tell you, you can feel the impact yourself. Isn’t color enough to change someone’s radiance or mood? Every stone that attracts you is your stone, the right stone for your work, the exact expression of your creative inspiration.

SYMBOLISM OF THE PEACE SIGN - We all associate this symbol with the hippie movement, which emerged in the 60s of last century as a result of the opposition of love against war. The mark was created by Gerald Holtham, and its main purpose was to proclaim to the world a hidden phrase - "British nuclear disarmament". The symbol has remained popular for decades, and its author never defends his copyright. To this day, he is known as a symbol of peace and nuclear disarmament, accepted by hippies as their emblem.
